Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.

In biology class. The students are seated at tables. There's a row of counters along a far wall containing various types of gear. An android instructor (Ms. Tibia) is lecturing. Zander and Bok are in the back row.
Caption: Biology class:
Zander (whispers to Bok): Can you distract Ms. Tibia while I use the magnifier?
Bok (whispers back): Sure thing.
Panel 2
Looking past the backs of some students' heads at Ms. Tibia, who is lecturing.
Tibia: … and so we see the advantage of a planned ecology, as we have on Zytemode, as opposed to the chaotic system on Old Terra.
Tibia: Every function is fulfilled by organisms scientifically designed for their purpose.
Tibia: This makes for much simpler management. No struggle, no extinctions, no ...
Panel 3
Looking past Ms. Tibia, to where Bok has his hand raised.
Tibia: … yes, Mr. Clark?
Bok: Also no variety, no excitement, no fun?
Bok: Is 'simpler management' really worth living on a boring world?
